EMC World 2016 – How to follow if you are not in Vegas.

It’s just a few hours for the EMC World, the biggest storage event of the year. Maybe the last event as an EMC event as the Dell-EMC merger will be completed by the mid-year. As always there are many attractions, including some possible new announcements.

There are many (including me 🙁 ) who are not lucky enough to be at The Venetian for the event, because of various reasons. Few ways to follow the event at home, not entirely but if you don’t want to miss the highlights.

Technical sessions on the most recent products including DSSD D5, VMAX All-Flash Array, VxRail and many others will be interesting. Attendees can make use of the EMC vLabs on products of their interest. EMC Proven Professional team is having testing center arranged and the first exam attempt is free. Other community events, customer/Partner events etc…

Learning, networking, fun – an event you must attend..!

And if you are an EMC Elect, you will have some special attractions including SUPERNAP tour. You may find a list of events from my fellow EMC Elect Rob Koper in his post here.

Follow the event online : You are not at The Venetian ? you can still follow the events online. You can watch the live streaming of the general sessionshere. Of course, we can not follow the complete event here.

It is hard to be on Twitter during this week, but we can follow the event on Twitter also. Follow the EMC Twitter accounts including EMC World. Follow the EMCWorld hashtag (#EMCWorld) on Twitter to keep yourself updated on the announcements and other highlights. Also, don’t forget to follow the EMC Elect hashtag (#EMCElect) for Tweets from the Elects.

There will be many blog posts on the announcements from the event. I will try to have some posts out here also. Watch this page for more.
